SPOTLOG's main vision is to involve local communities in creating socially responsible logistics systems, based wherever possible on zero-carbon modes.

Goal

SPOTLOG's main vision is to involve local communities in creating socially responsible logistics systems, based wherever possible on zero-carbon modes. It is accomplished by intelligent use of all available resources and taking advantage of the digitalisation of goods and passenger transport services. By focusing on low-density communities and medium-sized cities, SPOTLOG partners improve regional policy instruments toward the European goals of inclusive and carbon-neutral mobility.

The cross-cutting approach of SPOTLOG is intended to address multiple practical and policy aspects related to last-mile logistics support and a comprehensive assessment of urban logistic impacts on society.  Based on a multidisciplinary consortium with heterogeneous backgrounds, SPOTLOG partners will build a co-creation platform focused on:

• Share knowledge and spot good practices regarding innovative ways of e client logistical distribution and zero-carbon modes,
• Promote trust between stakeholders for better inter-sector collaboration (e.g., by fostering collaboration between passenger transport and logistics companies, distributors and local commerce);
• Build professional capacity in planning and impact assessment of the various solutions and improving the adequacy of the legislative framework and sustainable mobility plans.
